Zhang Mu dragged his chin and sat in his room, looking out the window at the sparrows chirping, with a sad face.

At this time, Yan Yan and Han Fangshan wanted to come in with them, but when they saw Zhang Mu's expression as heavy as the tomb, Yan Yan bowed his waist and asked, "Is there anything difficult for my lord?" ”

"Hey, I want to go there and get 50,000 yuan again." Zhang Mu said with a crying voice.

"Ahh 50,000 times! Yan Yan and Han Fangshan were both shocked.

Ten thousand guan family wealth can be rich, and this 50,000 guan is not a small amount.

"What do you want so much money for?" Han Fangshan asked puzzled.

"It's a long story, when I arrived in Wenzhou, I only carried less than 8,000 treasure money, which is all my belongings. Originally, I thought that this money should be enough, but who would have thought that the situation here is more serious than we thought. This Wen family is directly engaged in the business of the king of Tan, only 8,000 guan, can people take a fancy to it? Zhang Mu pouted.

Han Fangshan reacted and said, "That's why you used 50,000 guan as bait?" ”

Zhang Mu smiled bitterly: "That's right, think about it, what can you do?" ”

Han Fangshan hurriedly shook his head and said: "Don't look at the small ones, the little ones are poor, they are so poor all year round, and they are not enough to stuff their teeth." ”

Zhang Mu thought about it, the Hongwu Dynasty was a poor official, and every copper coin on the ground was on fire, so this led to particularly serious corruption in the late Ming Dynasty.

"I'm willing to share the worries of adults, but I can't take out these 50,000 small ones." Stern smiled bitterly.

Zhang Mu shook his head and said, "This money is given by you, and I can't ask for it." This trip to the sea goods came out, I don't know what the situation is, I'm afraid that the meat buns will beat the dogs, and I won't go back. Lord Han, can we apply for funding from above? ”

Han Fangshan laughed twice and said: "My lord, if it is a few hundred yuan, it may be approved, fifty thousand yuan, you just give Master Mao's head down, and he can't take it out." Don't think about it. ”

When Zhang Mu heard this, he couldn't help but say indignantly: "Damn, Lao Zhu is cheating Lao Tzu again, one doesn't give people, and the other doesn't give money, let Lao Tzu play with eggs?" Even if Lao Tzu wants to pay out of his own pocket, he doesn't have so many tickets. The business at home has only just started, and it is still the time to use money. How good is that? ”

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Mu asked, "Is this the process of recruiting people for our Jinyi Guard?" ”

"My lord, generally Jinyi Wei is a son inheriting his father's business, even if he recruits people from outside, he is selected from the meritorious family first, and besides, this selling official beard is a capital crime." Han Fangshan reminded.

Zhang Mu hesitated for a moment and said: "There are less than twenty days left in the agreed day of Panshiwei Zhao Qianhu over there, and at least ten days in advance the treasure money must be handed over to the Wen family, so that they can handle silk and porcelain and other sea goods, and now there are only ten days left." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Mu walked around the room, muttering, "This is the hospital exam soon, and it will take a few days to delay." That's how it can be good. As soon as he said this, Zhang Mu's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "There is a way." ”

"What's the solution?" Han Fangshan and Yan Yan both hurriedly asked.

"Doesn't the local government send prisoners to the country every year? One of the prison students is called a regular prisoner, which is the status of Xiucai, as long as you are willing to pay, you can go to the Guozijian to be a tribute. Although he was not born on the right path, but do you think, those big tea merchants, salt merchants, who don't want their children and grandchildren to be tribute students? Isn't that the money? Zhang Mu said with a smile.

"That being said, these places are in the hands of the old man, and those poor old gentlemen are not easy to deal with." Han Fangshan said with a smile.

"You don't have to worry about this, just go and pick some big fat sheep. I will report this matter to Your Majesty, and if the above blames it, I will resist it. Zhang Mu said.

Han Fangshan knew that this method was reliable, and if he wanted to become an official in the Hongwu Dynasty, it was nothing more than three methods: imperial examination, superintendent, and promotion.

If you want to become a student of Guozijian, there are generally three ways, one is recommended by local Confucianism, and those who enter Guozijian as a person are called eunuchs, and those who enter Guozijian as Xiucai are tribute eunuchs, also called tribute students.

The second way is the Meng Prison, to put it bluntly, it is the children of the official eunuchs, who can make an exception to enter the Guozi Prison, called the Grace Prison, or the father died on the battlefield and was martyred for the country, and the son can also become a prisoner, also known as the difficult prison, collectively known as the Meng Prison.

The third is the regular prison, spending money to enter the Guozijian to study, although this kind of prisoner is not valued, nor is it regarded as the right way, but in the end to enter the Guozijian to study, that is the supreme glory, those rich families, children and grandchildren are not good, do not break their heads?

At that moment, Han Fangshan said with a smile: "When I return to Hangzhou, I will do it immediately." ”

"At that time, even if His Majesty doesn't allow it, it doesn't matter, anyway, when the money arrives in my hand, I will first send out this batch of sea goods, and after finding out their details, I will exchange it for white flowers, and we will return it to those people. It's nothing more than borrowing their money for use, and it doesn't hurt. Even if Your Majesty blames it, this time it is done, we have more merit than fault, and we are not afraid. Besides, brothers can make a little fortune, right? Zhang Mu said with a smile.

Han Fangshan hurriedly said, "Your Excellency is wise. ”

After solving this matter, Zhang Mu settled a major matter in his heart, so he ordered: "You guys pack up your things, time is urgent, and there is no delay." ”

At that moment, both of them got up, and Zhang Mu shouted: "Brother Yan, wait a minute, I still have something to order." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Mu took out Zhu Yuanzhang's hand from the brocade box on the desk and said, "You take this to Li Yunchang and ask him to take some time to meet me before the Hangzhou Academy exam." Keep an eye on your walk and be careful to let people follow. ”

Sternly clenched his fists and said, "Don't worry, my lord." ”

Zhang Mu sent the two of them away, and then walked towards Yan Su's room, thinking about saying goodbye to the Wen family at night, so he said that he would go back to raise money, and after the hospital test, he would come back immediately, and he would not show any horses.

It's just that as soon as Zhang Mu pushed the door open, he was stunned on the ground.

Yan Su in front of him put his long hair like a waterfall in a simple bun, inserted the gilt step he gave her, wearing a light green satin short jacket on his upper body, and a yellow pomegranate skirt with a pattern of ancient branches embroidered by Su embroidered Han Mei on his lower body, standing in front of the bronze mirror slim, looking left and right, and his spirit was flying.

took care of her and always dressed as a man, and suddenly changed into women's clothes, which surprised Zhang Mu.

Qianqian's hands, like shallots, fair and pretty, with a bit of girlish shyness and blush, under the bangs, eyebrows like distant mountains, long eyelashes, a pair of angry Danfeng eyes, looking forward to brilliance, smiling like two half-curved crescents, Qiong's nose is slightly upturned, red lips and teeth.

Zhang Mu was a little in a trance, especially after letting go of the chest wrapping, although it was still developing, but the shoulders were tied up, and the front was convex and backward, just like the dew still hanging in the early morning, with buds waiting to be released.

Zhang Mu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Su'er, you are so beautiful." ”

Yan Su suddenly turned around and saw Zhang Mu, he was startled, and hurriedly ran towards the bed, put down the curtain and said, "You go out quickly, don't look at it." Shame on you. ”

Zhang Mu sat on the edge of the bed, lifted the curtain and said gently, "What are you afraid of?" The ugly daughter-in-law still wants to see her husband, besides, my family is beautiful and fragrant, let me take a good look. ”

When Yan Su heard this, his heart felt like he had drunk honey, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Then you are only allowed to watch, and you are not allowed to mess around." ”

"Rest assured, am I that kind of person?" Zhang Mu took off his shoes and rolled onto the bed.

"Ah, you touch there!" Yan Su suddenly exclaimed.

"I'll just see what this dress is made of."

"I'm angry if I do it again."

"Don't worry, I won't touch it, then let's kiss it first."

“……。”
